Which Froggy team will turn up today?
I picked the Frogs on Bru for a win… even though they were diabolical last weekend. I think Wales were worse….
Whilst I don’t think that Wales can be so poor again, anythings possible with the French!
13 Minutes till Kick-off in this game… we should go to the Live TV feed very soon….
Ahhhh, we have the Live Feed now…
Wales coming out of the change rooms
In team news for Wales – Captain Sam Warburton has been ruled out with a shoulder injury and as a result the captaincy passes to former skipper Ryan Jones who is recalled at blindside having recovered from a thumb injury. Jones returns to the side at the expense of Aaron Shingler who drops to the bench with Justin Tipuric filling the openside void left by an injured Warburton. Richard Hibbard comes in for Matthew Rees at hooker in the only other change to the side starting XV. There are a further two changes amongst the replacements with Shingler taking the place of Tipuric and Lou Reed stepping in for the injured Olly Kohn.

@ grootblousmile:
ag nee wat my bydrae hier word net gekritiseer. Ek kom selde hier en lees definitief nie meer alles hier nie, ek het nie die tyd nie, ek is in die veld , op die pad , in die kwekery. Ek lees ook ander koerant berigte en voel soms dit kan iets beteken so ek plaas dit maar. Ek is baie jammer as dit reeds ou nuus is, at least is dit RUGBY nuus. So verdra my maar.
